I-Congress Igcina Imali Yomshini Wezempi Ukuthi Inhlangano Yomphakathi Kufanele Yahlukanise Kusukela

Ezingxoxweni zesabelomali ezisanda kwedlula, amaSenate Democrats kuvunyelwene ukukhuphula amandla ekusetshenzisweni kwamasosha okwedlula i-cap yemali eyi-2018 ngamadola ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-70, okuletha isicelo sesibalo esikhulu se- $ 716 billion. Ngeshwa, lokhu kusho ukuthi izinkontileka eziningi zePentagon zizonikezwa izinkampani ezizimele ezisebenzisa impi engapheli ukugoba imigqa yazo. Amademocrat acashunwe kulokhu kukhuphuka okukhulu ngaphandle kwesibalo. Kepha lesi sinyathelo asimangali, uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi ingakanani imali ephuma kubantu abasebenza ngezikhali kuya kubakhiqizi bemikhankaso yenhlangano yabo bobabili.

Ngenkathi iningi lezikhali imali ihambela amaRiphabhlikhi, amaSenator Democracy, uTim Kaine kanye noBill Nelson, bavela abamukeli abayishumi abaphezulu yeminikelo yomkhankaso – kuwo womabili amakamelo namaqembu – kusuka kosonkontileka bezempi ngo-2017 nango-2018. INorthrop Grumman yanikelaI- $ 785,000 yabaqokelwe ezikhundleni zeDemocratic Alliance selokhu i2017.Hillary Clinton ethathe imali elinganiselwa ku- $ 1 million kusuka embonini ese2016. Ngisho nezithandwa ezithuthukayo ezifana Elizabeth Warren futhi UBernie Sanders thatha imali kubakhiqizi bezikhali, nakuSanders kusekelwe I-F-35 eyinhlekelele ka-Boeing ibucayi ngoba izwe lakubo belinesibalo sezezimali kulolu hlelo.

Uma ngabe alikho iqembu elikhulu lezepolitiki elizolimela lesi simo, yini engenziwa?

Impendulo eyodwa ingatholwa ekucindezelweni kwakamuva kokuphuma ezinkampanini zikaphethiloli ezenziwa, phakathi kokunye, Norway futhi New York City. NgoDisemba we-2016, Izikhungo ze-688, emelela ngaphezulu kwe- $ 5 trillion ezimpahleni, ibisusiwe emaphepheni angaphezulu komhlaba. In ingxoxo neThe Guardian, umlobi uNaomi Klein uchaze lo mzamo wokudonswa ngamandla kwe-fossil “njengenqubo yokuhambisa amandla emkhakheni futhi uqinisekisa ukuthi“ uletha inzuzo ”embi.

Umkhankaso we-analogous wokudlisa abahlomuli bempi usudlule isikhathi eside. Ngaphezu kokucindezela amalungu ethu eCongress ukuthi enqabe iminikelo yokukhankasa evela kubakhiqizi bezikhali kanye nabasebenza ngamasosha empi, kufanele siqinise umzamo wokudonsela phansi ezikhungweni zezikhungo nakomasipala. Ukutshalwa kwezimali ezimpini kumele kufike ekuhlazweni komphakathi.

Abafundi baseNyuvesi bangacela imininingwane yokubanjwa ezikoleni zabo. Imvamisa, ukutshalwa kwezimali ezinkampanini zamasosha kuhlanganiswa kube yizinto eziyinkimbinkimbi zezimali okutshaliwe kwazo kungadalulwa esidlangalaleni. Okuqukethwe kwalezi zinsimbi kunganqunywa ngokuxhumana nebhodi laseyunivesithi labaphatheli noma umphathi wokuqina. Ngemuva kwalokho kungaqalwa umkhankaso wokudonswa ngamandla, kwakhiwe imifelandawonye yamakhampasi, kwakha izikhalazo, ukuhlela izinyathelo eziqondile nezinqumo ezidlulayo ngezinhlangano zikahulumeni zabafundi. Isiqondisi esisizayo sezishoshovu zabafundi singatholakala lapha.

Izishoshovu zingaqala imizamo kamasipala yokudonswa kwempahla ngokunquma ukubanjwa kwezimpesheni zedolobha, ukusetshenziswa, noma kwezimali zomshuwalense. Ku-2017 engqungqutheleni yaseMelika yezimeya, inhlangano kazwelonke yamadolobha anabantu abaningi nge-30,000, wamukela isinqumo ukwemukela isidingo sokuguqula izinto eziza kuqala ekuxhaseni imali kude nokwenza izimpi zibe yimiphakathi yasendaweni. Imikhankaso yokudonsela phansi ingavuselela lesi sinqumo ukuze sibambe abaholi bedolobha ngezwi labo. Imininingwane eminingi yezishoshovu ezisezingeni ledolobha iyatholakala lapha.

Ukwehlukaniswa kunikeza enye indlela yokubhekana nokubi kwempi ezuzisayo ngenkathi lapho izindlela zendabuko zepolitiki zivaliwe ngabamele bethu abafisa. Futhi kuletha umyalezo emiphakathini emincane- emiphakathini ewayo ngenkathi osonkontileka bezokuvikela behlala ngokunethezeka.

Umfelandawonye omusha wamaqembu we-70 ezweni lonke usungule ukwethula umkhankaso we-Divest From the Machine Machine. Le mfelandawonye icela bonke labo abanengekayo yilabo abahlaselwe ngempi ukuthi basize izikhungo zemfundo ephakeme zenyuvesi, idolobha, izimpesheni kanye nezenkolo ukuthi zihlukane nempi ..

Enkulumweni ye-2015 eya e-US Congress, yona kanye neCongress ebonakala kakhulu emshinini wezempi, uPapa Francis ubuze ukuthi kungani kuthengiswa izikhali ezibulalayo kulabo abahlupha umphakathi.
